About

TiltRun

Features
Read full description

TiltRun is a precision marble game about momentum and nerve. Tilt your device (or steer with touch) to guide your marble across floating neon courses suspended in the sky. Collect every energy shard to power the exit, then get there in one piece – and fast enough for gold. A quest that keeps climbing 99 handcrafted courses along a winding quest map – each one teaches a skill, then tests it. Ten kinds of trouble: bottomless holes, rotating blades, sliding crushers, timed gates, moving platforms, pinball bumpers, wind fields, gravity wells, slick ice and sticky grip zones. Checkpoints and medals: fall and try again from mid-course, then chase bronze, silver and gold times on every level. A fair difficulty curve: gentle first rolls, white-knuckle finales. Course 99 uses everything the mountain has. Made to feel right Precise physics with tilt calibration, sensitivity and dead-zone controls Play with device tilt, touch drag, keyboard or gamepad Accessibility options: reduced motion, reduced flashing, high contrast Short sessions, instant retries, no lives, no waiting TiltRun is free to play with occasional ads between levels. A single one-time purchase removes forced ads forever and unlocks every marble colour.
